iRO's ability to change well... much of anything, is clearly quite limited. One thing they are able to do, however, is make elite clones of existing dungeons. They've already done it with Overlook, and they can of course make others.

Since we're going to be waiting for a looooooong time for any kind of class balance, this could be an opportunity to make classes useful in a temporary, forced manner, until we get something vaguely resembling balance.

For instance, we could have a floor of a dungeon where one monster has a DEF of 500 and MDEF of 5, and another hurls 10 different status effects easily cured by ABs. Another could summon a giant swarm of 50 HP minions (performers have that song to instakill the stack). Etc.

It would be a blatantly obvious forced attempt to make non-melee classes useful, but it WOULD make sure that when we do finally get some balance, we're not going to have the character ratios at L150 be 10:1 melee:everything else.
